Locality
From Hollick (1930) (p. 71)
"Yukon River, north bank, about 13 miles below Melozi telegraph station (original No. 3AH12); collected by Arthur Hollick and Sidney Paige in 1903 (lot 3249) (Pl. 39, Fig. 3, 4)."
Description
From Hollick (1930) (p. 71)
"Ficus daphnogenoides (Heer) Berry, Torrey Bot. Club Bull., vol. 32, p. 329, pl. 21, figs. 1-6, 9, 13, 14, 1905. (Berry, 1905)
Proteoides daphnogenoides Heer, in Capellini, J., and Heer, 0., Les phyllites cretacees du Nebraska: Soc. helv. sci. nat. Nouv. mem., vol. 2.2, No.1, p. 17, pl. 4, figs. 9, 10, 1866. (Heer 1866)"
Remarks
From Hollick (1930) (p. 71)
"It is possible that two species are included in these specimens - the smaller ones representing Proteoides daphnogenoides as originally described by Heer, and the larger one representing Ficus proteoides Lesquereux (1892; 1898) but Berry has relegated all such leaf forms to a single species of Ficus, under the original specific name, and this rearrangement of the species is accepted, without discussion, on account of its convenience. On this conception of the species its geographic distribution would include the Upper Cretaceous of the Atlantic Coastal Plain region from southern New England to North Carolina, Alabama, Texas, and Alaska."
